OBJECTIVE To study the effect of different concentrations of 17-AAG and EGCG monotherapy or in combination on the induced apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to explore new molecular targets for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS MTT colorimetric method and fluorescent staining were used to detect the change of CNE proliferation inhibition rate and cell morphology. And furthermore, the expression level of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS 1. 17-AAG or EGCG alone had inhibitory effect on the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells at 24 h, 48h and 72 h, and it was related with time and dose(P<0.01). The inhibition effect of combination of 17-AAG and EGCG was significantly increased,which was time and dose dependent(P<0.01). 2. RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3. The level of Caspase-3 and Bax mRNA expression after treated by 17-AAG and EGCG was significantly higher, and the level of bcl-2 mRNA expression was lower than that after treated by 17-AAG or EGCG alone. CONCLUSION Our investigation implied that 17-AAG and EGCG in combination can effectively inhibit the proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells. The involved mechanisms may be associated with the upregulation of Bax and Caspase-3 expression.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical features and genetic analysis results of 10 children with Dent disease.
Methods:
The clinical data and gene test results of 10 boys aged from 8 months to 12 years with Dent disease diagnosed in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2014 to July 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
All patients had insidious onset, 5 cases were found to have proteinuria on routine urine examination after hospitalization duo to other diseases, 4 cases were admitted to hospital because increased foams in the urine, and 1 case was found to have proteinuria on health checkup. All cases presented with low molecular weight proteinuria, urine protein electrophoresis showed that the proportion of low molecular weight protein was greater than 50%, 7 cases had nephrotic-range proteinuria, but none had hypoproteinemia. Six cases had hypercalciuria, 3 cases had nephrocalcinosis, 1 case had nephrolithiasis, 2 cases had glomerular microscopic hematuria, in 1 case urine glucose wa weakly positive but blood glucose was normal. All patients had normal renal function, normal serum calcium, no hypophosphoremia and none had rickets. Genetic analysis results showed that 7 patients with variants in the CLCN5 gene, including 2 nonsense variants (p.R637X, p.Y143X), 3 missense variants (p.A540D, p.G135E, p.G703V), 1 deletion variant (exons 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 1 missing), and 1 frameshift variant (p.T260Tfs*10). Three cases had missense variants of OCRL gene (p.I274T, p.I371T, p.F399S). Except for p.R637X and p.I274T, the other 8 cases had newly discovered variants. Five patients underwent a renal biopsy, the biopsy revealed focal global glomerulosclerosis in 3 patients, mild mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis in 1 patient and renal minimal change in 1 patient. Mild focal tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were noted in three cases. Mild segmental foot process effacement was noted under electron microscope in all five cases.
Conclusions
All the children with Dent disease had insidious onset, low molecular weight proteinuria is the main clinical manifestation, most cases presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria, but there was no hypoalbuminemia, some cases were not associated with hypercalciuria. The pathogenic genes in most cases were CLCN5 and a few were OCRL. The types of genetic variation include missense variant, nonsense variant, deletion variant and frameshift variant. Although Dent disease is a renal tubular disease, renal biopsy suggests that most cases are associated with glomerular lesions.

They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 49 per group). The control group received acupoint application, while the observation group received acupoint application combined with MECT. All patients were treated for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, Personal Mastery Scale (PMS), Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Bipolar Disorder Self-rating Questionnaire (BSQ) scores were compared between the two groups. The severity of the disease and clinical efficacy were assessed in each group. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in PMS, SPBS, and PSSS scores between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, PMS scores in the observation and control groups were (31.2 ± 4.5) points and (27.8 ± 4.1) points, respectively, and PSSS scores in the two groups were (66.6 ± 12.3) points and (63.2 ± 10.1) points, respectively. After treatment, PMS and PSSS scores in the observation and control groups were significantly increased compared with those measured before treatment in the corresponding groups [observation group: PMS score (15.6 ± 3.3) points, PSSS score (32.1 ± 6.2) points, control group: PMS score (15.2 ± 3.1) points, PSSS score (34.7 ± 6.6) points, t = 20.50, 16.23, 17.53, 16.54, all P < 0.05]. After treatment, SPBS scores in the observation and control groups [(16.2 ± 3.4) points, (17.7 ± 3.6) points] were significantly decreased compared with those measured before treatment in the corresponding groups [observation group: (30.9 ± 5.8) points, control group: (28.1 ± 5.5) points, t = 15.31, 11.07, both P < 0.05]. After treatment, PMS score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 4.45, P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in BSQ score between the two groups ( P > 0.05). After treatment, BSQ scores in the observation and control groups [(14.6 ± 6.5) points, (20.1 ± 7.5) points] were significantly decreased compared with those measured before treatment in the corresponding groups [observation group: (39.5 ± 10.2) points, control group: (36.4 ± 9.5) points, t = 12.32, 21.20, both P < 0.05]. After treatment, BSQ score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 5.60, P < 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( χ2 = 4.90, P < 0.05). The Spearman test showed a significant negative correlation between PMS and BSQ scores ( r = -0.689, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Acupoint application combined with MECT therapy can improve life control in patients with bipolar disorder and increase clinical efficacy .
